Twin 7+ Magnitude Earthquakes Strike In Just One Week
First, there was a massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Honduras that triggered a tsunami warning—the largest earthquake in Central America or the Caribbean in five years.
Then early this morning a powerful 7.1 magnitude quake struck Peru, toppling buildings, killing two, and injuring dozens more. In any given year there are usually 10-20 7.0 or higher earthquakes around the world, or roughly one every three and a half weeks. To have two just five days apart is certainly not unprecedented, but it is certainly a noticeable uptick worth paying attention to.
177 days (inclusive) before the 7.6 Honduras earthquake was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia that was 7 miles deep occurring on 7/17/17. That happened just as Israel temporarily retook control of the Temple Mount for the first time since 1967.
177 days (inclusive) before the Russian earthquake was a 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Papua New Guinea.
177 days before the Papua New Guinea earthquake was a 7.7 magnitude quake in the Northern Mariana Islands.
To the secular mind, these are all coincidences—though surprisingly improbable at that. Yet to the believer who recognizes God's sovereignty, these are unmistakable patterns. He controls it all. And to the "Christian" critics who are still so quick to dismiss the incredible plethora of numbers, patterns, and signs from 2017 (see here and here), I have to question whether you believe in God's sovereignty. He's either completely sovereign or not sovereign at all. There are no coincidences.
Regarding the September 23rd/24th astronomical alignment in particular, if it was just a surprisingly similar alignment to what Revelation 12:1-2 describes, yet meaningless, consider that before the very beginning of time God knew that on that date the planets and stars would align in such a way that thousands of people could honestly believe the sign from Revelation 12:1-2 was being fulfilled. It was a perfect, unmistakable match. The timing of what that sign is pointing to—namely, the rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation—is still unknown us, but we would be wise to trust what the Bible plainly says and continue to watch this story unfold.
We are still in the biblical year of the Revelation 12 Sign (roughly April 2017 through April 2018) and shortly after that is the actual 70th anniversary of Israel, which happens to be the same day (May 14th) that Christ ascended if His crucifixion occurred in 33 AD. Just one week later is Pentecost.
I'm still closely watching this all unfold and trying to patiently trust God for the timing and details.
Keep looking up! And thanks for the detail on the earthquakes! We are clearly living in the last of the last days before the rapture of the church. Maranatha!
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome. Maranatha!
DeleteP.S., the pattern continues somewhat before that, too, but not quite as perfectly. 181 days before the Mariana Islands earthquake was 7.2 magnitude quake.
yes but 181 days is still within the 26th week (like the 177 days). 26 being 'half a time' and reminding us about Gods Agape love having two sides of judgement and mercy (26 in Strongs). I was quite shocked about the EQ as I was in Ina (Peru) only a month ago. Crazy stuff.
Deletesorry just to add to my above comment...I guess if the Peru EQ was five days later than the honduras one, that would put it at 182 days (inclusive) after the Russia EQ, making it the end of the 26 weeks after the Russia EQ (ignoring leap year days etc)...I could be reading too much into it however.

Well one thing's for sure: it's still pretty close. There's definitely something to the 175 - 185 day rule.
DeleteYes Gary, keep LOOKING UP! https://youtu.be/XwGQ8taLptA Not like the people in this video running to and from, noticing NOTHING whats clearly going on above their heads! MARANATHA
ReplyDeleteYes, people are increasingly oblivious to what's REALLY going on. Just as predicted by the Bible.
DeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteIn case we are in a Jubilee Year... a brother in Christ mentioned that Jubilee years are starting and ending on the Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur. This year, the DoA falls on the 18th-19th of September (according to HebCal). On the other hand, a sister in Christ shared that the Lord laid it on her heart that our man-made calendars are totally off (compared to His calendar) which isn't a big surprise. What is sure that the Rev 12 *exit* Sign happened on the 23th of last September, fulfilling Rev 12:1-2. Based on all the prophetic events and fulfillments happening all around the world, hopefully our departure is near.
I think that's the best approach—to view it as the exit sign. Our exit is very near, but we don't yet know exactly when. The Revelation 12 Sign was a huge wake up call to those with eyes to see.
DeleteI agree, Gary! :-)
DeleteHi all from my understanding we are still in the jubilee year of "2017", the Biblical year goes from Nisan to Nisan - this Biblical year ends on March 16 = 3.16...as in John 3:16. Many have said that March 17 = Nisan 1 5778 is a candidate for the start of the tribulation.
ReplyDeleteThoughts?
The problem is, as a brother in Christ pointed it out, that a Jubilee Year starts and ends at the Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur in the fall. (Not starting and ending with Nisan.)On the other hand, the slaves are being set free at the start of the Jubilee Year. Perhaps this is a Jubilee Year because of the events around Jerusalem, perhaps it isn't, only the Lord knows for sure. (He is not restricted to take us home in a Jubilee Year, so we could still hope in a 2018-rapture even if this year isn't a Jubilee.)
Deletep.s.: So the rapture could happen anytime, it could happen before the 16th-17th of March.
DeleteGood thoughts thanks. I'm also trying to understand how this all relates to Judah Ben Samuel's prophecy about the beginning of the Messianic End Time starting at the end of Biblical 2017.
DeletePossibility...if you look at Deuteronomy 16:1, God said to observe moonth of Abib, or Nisan, for in that month God brought them out of Egypt.
DeleteAlso, Exodus 23:15 to 19...speaks again of Abib, which is an appointed month by God, for they were brought out of Egypt. There is also a parenthesis in the KJV that states "and none shall appear before me empty"..(could it be the Holy spirit? Then the next verse speaks of the first fruits harvest, and of the end of year harvest...
Something to think about...
I forgot mention in my previous post...right after God says to keep the passover in the month of Abib, Nissan, he says "He brought them out of Egypt by night". Well, it sure is night now, evil everywhere...and right after this verse...
DeleteDeuteronomy 16:3 says...for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste (snatch away, harpazo), that thou latest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of the life."
Amen.
Thanks Disciple Tabitha! Can I ask a silly question...so Nisan = Aviv? But this is different than the month of Av?
DeleteHi @all, this maybe off topic a bit but I just want to point you to watch the LATEST PROPHECY UPDATE BY JD FARAG 1/14/18 on YouTube after he just lived through the "Hawaii incident" the day before... Such a great message and awesome sermon!! Be blessed by his preaching (which it is rather than 'update' this time) and gather together in prayer for the Calvary Chapel Kaneohe! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to dismiss the number patterns. However, the article's point about believing in the sovereignty of God if they don't is going too far.
ReplyDeleteGod is sovereign. But, that doesn't mean He's intervening to interrupt natural laws He's already created. Sure, he COULD be doing it with these patterns. But, God is sovereign if He isn't intervening just as much as if He was intervening.
God created the physical laws causing these earthquakes. They can operate on their own and God can change the laws or override them at any time for a special purpose. One thing is for sure, God is not capricious in nature. God doesn't HAVE to intervene in most cases because He the laws will work for Him just as He pleases.
I followed the 'here and here' links and was again reminded of fundamental biblical flaws you should at least look into:
1. Only Judah are Jews. The rest of Israel are not Jews. The 144,000 are not Jews except for Judah. That's no small point concerning end times prophecies.
2. Gog and Magog war is, explicitly, AFTER the millennium.
I appreciate the site, but please do consider these points.
God bless.
I do agree, Ben! Perhaps these links might help to clarify both issues:
Delete1.) https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/america-britain.html#audioRead
2.) https://escapeallthesethings.com/gog-magog/
Blessings to all of you! :)
Ben Gillis,
DeleteIn my understanding there are more than one Gog-Magog war. One is most likely pre-70th Week (When Russa&Iran&Turkey&Co attack Israel. This one seems to be visibly in the making now.) There are eschatological studies covering this topic. Also a lot of debate over the timing of these wars.
The 144,000 will be Jewish men from the 12 Tribes of Israel. All of them. This is Biblical truth! Please check your Bible!
Revelation 7:4-8:
"Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000."

Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though the mountain be moved into the hear of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling... The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress"--- Psalm 46:1-7
DeleteReplying to a comment above: The Jubilee year was PROCLAIMED on Tishri 10 in year 49 and the 50th year of Jubilee began on Nisan 1. Read Leviticus 25 carefully.
